Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Ping'er immediately supported Xu Yan'er, "Auntie, you are still injured, don't move."

Xu Yan'er tried several times but failed to get out of bed.

"Ping'er, go and invite the prince and tell him that my injuries have suddenly become serious!" Xu Yan'er pushed Ping'er.

"Aunt, this is not good, right? The prince is in Madam's palace. No matter what the reason is, if you go to invite the prince, you will be suspected of offending his wife." Ping'er shook her head with a look of rejection.

"You are my servant now, and you don't even listen to my orders? If you don't go, I will let the prince drive you out of the palace!"

Ping'er panicked, "Auntie, calm down. I'll go and invite the prince right away."

After Ping'er left, Xu Yan'er stared eagerly towards the door.

She firmly believed that the prince would not ignore her. He would never do that.

Ji Chuhe was about to rest when Mianzhu came in and said, "Miss, Ping'er from Aunt Xu's side came to report that Aunt Xu's injury has worsened, and she wants to invite the prince to come over."

"Ask someone to invite the palace doctor over. Also, tell Xu Yan'er that the prince is not a doctor, so it's useless to ask him."

"Yes." Mianzhu immediately went out to respond.

Xu Yan'er was eagerly waiting, but what came was not Xiao Yan'an, but the court doctor carrying a medicine box.

Suddenly, I lost all hope.

"Where is the prince?" she asked Ping'er.

"Aunt, I was sent away by the maidservant beside the lady before I could see the prince. She also told you that the prince is not a doctor and it is useless to ask him. Let Doctor Zhang come to check on you." Ping'er answered in a low voice.

Xu Yan'er felt a tightness in her chest and clutched the quilt tightly.

Can Ji Chuhe stop her from seeing the prince tonight?

……

The next morning.

Xiao Yanan woke up slowly. Not only did his whole body ache, his head was also dizzy, his mouth was dry, and it felt like there was a fire burning in his chest.

"Tianxi, water." He called out with his eyes closed.

There was no movement around.

Xiao Yanan turned over, and suddenly, there was nothing under him, and he fell down uncontrollably!

Only then did he realize that this was not his Mo Garden, nor was it his bedroom.

When Ji Chuhe pushed the door open, she saw Xiao Yanan lying on the ground in a mess.

Xiao Yan'an looked up and saw Ji Chuhe, and immediately stood up.

He didn't dare to look Ji Chuhe in the eye, feeling an indescribable sense of nervousness.

"Prince has woken up. Wash up and have breakfast together. I also have something to say to you." After Ji Chuhe finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

Xiao Yanan walked in just as breakfast was placed on the table.

Ji Chuhe tied up her wide brocade sleeves and personally prepared the porridge that she had been cooking for an hour.

The morning light shone through the window onto her body, making her skin look incredibly delicate and breakable.

The steam from the food lingered around her, blending with the light of morning light, swaying gracefully in the air. In such an environment, Ji Chuhe was as beautiful as a goddess who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world.

"Please sit down, Prince." Ji Chuhe placed the bowl full of porridge in front of Xiao Yan'an.

Xiao Yan'an walked over and sat down.

After Ji Chuhe sat down, he handed him a cup of warm water.

This scene made Xiao Yanan feel a little warm in his heart.

Just like a couple who have lived together for a long time, their days are ordinary, but there is an appreciation and preciousness in them that cannot be given up.

He was stunned by the thoughts in his mind.

Could it be that, imperceptibly, he has already accepted Ji Chuhe as his wife?

Then what about Xu Yan'er?

It was clear that the person he had always wanted to marry was Xu Yan'er.

Xiao Yanan picked up the cup and took a sip of warm water.

In an instant, the burning sensation in my chest was extinguished, and I felt a little more hungry.

"Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping. But considering that the prince may have other things to do later, I will talk while eating." Ji Chuhe spoke to himself.

"Yeah." Xiao Yan'an responded softly.

Ji Chuhe must be asking about the result of the incident of the falling petals yesterday.

He didn't want to face it directly, but he felt that it didn't matter if he was honest with Ji Chuhe about this matter.

"Yesterday, Aunt Xu and Aunt Dong had some quarrels, and I punished them separately. Aunt Xu tripped Aunt Dong into a thorny bush and she was injured, so I punished her more severely."

Xiao Yan'an was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Ji Chuhe was talking about this.

"Mother has praised your ability as a housekeeper. As far as I know, the servants also respect you as the Crown Prince's wife from the bottom of their hearts. Since you punished them, it must be their fault."

"I am very happy that you can say that, Your Highness. A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. If someone takes advantage of their favor and breaks the rules, then the rules will be meaningless, and the master's majesty will be greatly reduced."

Xiao Yan'an nodded in agreement and couldn't help but look at Ji Chuhe a few more times.

He didn't know when it started, but he felt that being with Ji Chuhe gave him a sense of peace and tranquility.

Even if she didn't use any means, it seemed that all the difficulties would be solved as long as she stood beside him.

Deep down in his heart, he somewhat admired Ji Chuhe.

It's just that due to the man's face, it's hard to say such things out loud.

"There is one more thing. It is about Aunt Xu's menstruation. What is the prince's plan?"

Xiao Yanan had just taken a mouthful of porridge when he heard this question and couldn't swallow it anymore.

Ji Chuhe glanced at Xiao Yan'an's reaction and did not force him to answer immediately. Instead, she quietly ate the porridge in the bowl.

"Thank you for not telling mother about this." Xiao Yan'an thanked him softly.

"I didn't tell mother right away, not because I was concerned about the prince, but because I didn't want mother to be angry and for her health. However, I can't keep this from mother forever, and the prince has to make a decision right away."

"Do we need to interrogate Zhao Kang again? If Xu Yan'er had no guilty conscience, why would she lie?" Xiao Yan'an's tone was filled with a hint of anger.

Ji Chuhe didn't quite understand what Xiao Yan'an was worried about.

Does it make sense to worry about this now?

"Sir, are you sure that Aunt Xu is not innocent?" she asked.

"Why did she lie to me?" Xiao Yan'an asked Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe frowned slightly, "I think it would be good for both you and Aunt Xu if the prince investigates further. You should also have a good talk with Aunt Xu about the matter of Aunt Xu faking her pregnancy."

Xiao Yan'an didn't seem willing to do so.

"If the prince cannot accept Aunt Xu, he can just kick her out of the house." Ji Chuhe made another suggestion.

Xiao Yanan immediately clenched his fists.

It seemed that he was reluctant to kick Xu Yan'er out.

Ji Chuhe was helpless. Sometimes, she really envied those widows who came from wealthy families and had lost their husbands.

"Prince, although some bad things happened to Aunt Xu that ruined her reputation, a woman's reputation is still very important. She is the apple of your eye. Even if it is just for this love, you must get to the bottom of it and give her justice." Ji Chuhe advised again.

"I will take care of this matter." Xiao Yan'an promised softly.

Oh, deal with it? When? How?

Typical escapist mentality.

"Then give Aunt Xu a bowl of medicine to prevent more troublesome things from happening." Ji Chuhe didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Xiao Yanan hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Okay."

Ji Chuhe was not surprised by this answer, but felt a little disappointed.

It turns out that the feeling of love that is life-and-death is just like this.

"Please arrange the medicine yourself today, Prince." After saying that, Ji Chuhe stood up and left.
